KERMIT.EXE is the current released version, 3.3.128, dated June 1990. It requires VMS version 4.0 or later to run. VMSV31.EXE is version 3.1 from many years ago, which is the last version able to run under pre-4.0 releases of VMS. The diskette is in VMS COPY format. To read it, make a new directory or subdirectory, and SET DEFAULT to it. The diskette's volume label is KERMIT, so you would mount it with a command like MOUNT DUA2: KERMIT K (assuming your RX-50 diskette drive has device name DUA2:). This command also assigns logical name K: to the diskette. First COPY K:[KERMIT]*.* to the empty directory. After this, you don't need the diskette any more. To install KERMIT for users, COPY KERMIT.EXE to SYS$SYSTEM, and SET FILE /PROT=(W:R). You can also install Kermit as a VMS command by adding an appropriate INSTALL command for it in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP.COM. To install the HELP KERMIT command in DCL, do this: $ RENAME VMSMIT.RNH KERMIT.RNH $ RUNOFF KERMIT.RNH/VAR=SYSTEM $ LIBRARY/HELP/DELETE=KERMIT SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB (ignore any errors here) $ LIBRARY/INSERT/HELP SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB KERMIT.HLP And to install Kermit's internal HELP command, do this: $ RUNOFF KERMIT.RNH $ LIBRARY/CREATE/HELP SYS$HELP:KERMIT.HLB KERMIT.HLP For a current list of available Kermit versions, documentation, ordering information, and a statement of commercial policy, write to: Kermit Distribution Columbia University Center for Computing Activities 612 West 115th Street New York, NY 10025 For further information about Kermit, consult the Kermit User Guide or the book "Kermit, A File Tranfer Protocol" by Frank da Cruz, Digital Press, Bedford MA 01730 (1987), order number EY-6705E-DP, call 1-800-343-8321 to order.
